[高考题型练习提能练]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When an earthquake hit a small town，many houses fell down.After the
earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who
were in trouble.
One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched me.It
gave the clothing sizes of each family member.I thought that this would be a good
chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves.I said
to my seven­year­old twins，Brad and Brett，and three­year­old Meghan，“We
have so much，and these poor people now have nothing.We'll share what we have
with them.”
I filled a box with foods and clothes.While I was doing this，I encouraged the
boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things.Meghan
watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them
together.Then she walked away.A few minutes later，she came back with Lucy，her
much­loved doll.She put the doll on top of the other toys.“Oh，dear，”I
said.“You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much.”Meghan said，“Lucy
makes me happy，Mummy.Maybe she'll make another little girl happy，too.”
I looked at Meghan for a long moment.She taught me a lesson.It's easy to give
something that we don't want any more，but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱)，
isn't it?

B 【导学号：11132081】
Buildings crashed to the ground in seconds.Thousands of people lost their lives
in a flash.Since they were told an earthquake would hit Tokyo around September
16，Japanese people haven't been able to get these thoughts out of their minds.
They heard the news from Yoshio Kushida，a researcher who used radio waves
to predict that an earthquake would strike with a magnitude(量级) of at least
seven.“It would be terrible not to warn people of a possible disaster in case a quake
actually occurs，”he said.
His warning had a big effect.Frightened Tokyo people have been stocking up on
water，food and candles in preparation for the terrible day.
But Kushida hasn't had much support from the experts.At present，predicting
earthquakes is thought to be impossible.No one can tell exactly where or when the
next major earthquake will occur.An earthquake begins tens of miles below the
earth's surface：it's too faraway to see.
Ancient Chinese and Italian scientists forecast earthquakes by special“earthquake
clouds”．They found that a week before an earthquake，there were often strange
中国现代教育网 www.30edu.com 全国最大教师交流平台
clouds—shaped like snakes，waves or feathers—in the sky.They thought the
clouds might come from a gas produced underground by an earthquake.
People also used to watch animals to see if earthquakes were coming.When they
saw birds fly away suddenly，dogs barking violently or fish jumping out of the
water，they told people to leave the area.Some scientists believed animals had a
sharper sense of changes taking place underground.
But the ancient methods were not reliable enough.Nowadays，scientists use
special instruments to predict earthquakes' more precisely(精确地)．
Satellite systems are very useful：they record small changes in the earth's
magnetic fields(磁场)which help show where and when an earthquake may strike.
【语篇解读】 要准确地预测地震很难，但从古至今人们都尝试用不同手
段对地震进行预测。

of a possible disaster in case a quake actually occurs”可知答案。]

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
If you have ever been discouraged because of failure，please read on.Often
achieving what you plan to do isn't the important thing. 1
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house.While they were
digging，a few older boys stopped by to watch.“What are you doing？”asked one
of the visitors.“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth！”One of the
brothers volunteered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh，telling the younger brothers that digging a hole
all the way through the earth was impossible.After a long silence，one of the diggers
picked up a jar full of spiders，worms and a wide variety of insects. 2 Then he
said quietly and confidently，“Even if we don't dig a hole all the way through the
earth，look at what we found along the way！”
3 And that is what a goal is for—to cause us to move in the direction we
have chosen，in other words，to have us digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will end successfully.Not
every relationship will endure(持续)．Not every hope will come to pass.Not every
love will last. 4
So when you fail to reach your aim，perhaps you can say，“Yes，but look at
what I found along the way！Look at the wonderful things which have come into my
中国现代教育网 www.30edu.com 全国最大教师交流平台
life because I tried to do something！”It is in the process of digging that life is lived.
5
A．And I believe，in the end，it is joy in the journey that truly matters.
B．He opened the jar and showed the things contained in it to the laughing
visitors.
C．Here are some tips for you.
D．Not every dream will come true.
E．Let me explain.
F．Their goal was far too high，but it did cause them to dig.
G．He broke the jar into pieces.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。作者通过一个故事讲述了一个道理：
朝着你的目标努力吧，即使最后没有达到目标，你也会有许多惊喜和发现。
1．E [E 项意为“让我来解释一下吧”，用此句引出一个事例来证明作者
的观点：通常完成你的计划并不是重要的事情。]
2．B [B 项意为“他打开罐子把里面的东西给嘲笑他们的参观者看”，这
与前面的“one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders，worms and a wide
variety of insects”以及后面的“look at what we found along the way”相衔接。]
3．F [F 项意为“他们的目标太高了，但正是这个目标使他们挖起来”，
符合上下文语境。]
4．D [此处与前面的“Not every...will”形成排比句。故选 D。]
5．A [A 项意为“并且我认为，最终真正重要的是(实现目标的)过程中的
快乐”，与上文相衔接。]
Ⅲ.语法填空

1．surprising [空格处表示“此事令人吃惊”，因而应填 surprising。]
【解题策略】 “­ed”还是“­ing”
有些词有两种形容词形式，即“­ed”形式和“­ing”形式。如：
interested 与 interesting；developed 与 developing
记住：“­ed”意为“人感到……”；“­ing”意为“令人……样的”
如：an interesting book 令人感兴趣的书；He is interested in the book.他对那
本书感兴趣。
2．is recorded [由句意和句子结构可知，此处主谓之间是被动关系，结合
上下文时态应使用一般现在时的被动语态。]
3．to turn [此处表示“未能按时交上作业”，应使用“fail to do”这一搭配。
]
4．what [此处句意为“与我们对美国中学生的看法相反”，由此可知应
填连接词 what，what 从句做前面介词 from 的宾语。]
5．performances [此处表示“关注他们的学业表现”，因而应填
perform 的名词形式 performance。由前面定语 their 可知应用复数形式。]
6．freedom [此处表示“做某事的自由”，因而应填 free 的名词形式
freedom。]
7．them [由句意可知，此处意为“最使他们感兴趣的课程”，缺少宾语，
应使用人称代词的宾格。]
8．the [此处表示“坐在同一个教室里”，使用“the same＋名词”这一
搭配。]
9．because [由句意可知，前一句表示结果，后一句表示原因，应填连词
because。]

岁”，应使用形容词的比较级形式。] 【导学号：11132082】
